THEY ARE FULL OF SOUP!

After losing the presidency (again), more of the Senate, and some of the House, Republicans and conservatives haven't learned and still try to sell the same stale soup and BAD arithmetic.
Why has more overall wealth in the US moved to less of the population since Ronald Reagan? Federal legislation favors various forms of money managing and manipulation far out of proportion to its contribution to any company's or the country’s accomplishments.
Don’t tax the “job creators.” If they’re creating jobs, why are there so many underemployed and unemployed?
Taxes kill jobs! Really? Someone please explain, from the simple example below, how an increase in the Income Taxes line FORCES the Salaries line to decrease.
+Sales $1,000,000
-Salaries 500,000
-Other Expenes 250,000
=Taxable income $ 250,000
-Income Taxes 100,000
=Net Profit $ 150,000
These number work downwards; the Income Taxes number is based solely on what the Taxable Income is. Other Expenses may contain taxes different from Income Taxes, but a big part of the national debate is about changing Income Tax rates and could be accomplished easily. It shouldn’t be kept waiting to fine-tune the “other stuff;" that stuff could be debated until the cows home and result in the same problem we've had for too long: holding up (obstructing) the good for the many, waiting for the "perfect" of the few.
